Summary: Aromatic halogenated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) have high toxicity and have been the focus of research, but most studies have focused on halo-monocyclic DBPs, while halo-polycyclic DBPs have been largely unexplored. This study systematically studied a new group of halo-bicyclic DBPs called halonaphthoquinones (HNQs), and developed a highly accurate and sensitive method to detect HNQs in drinking water.

Summary: In this study, a detection method for alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) residue in tea was established using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and UPLC-MS/MS. The recoveries of APEOs ranged from 70.3-110.7% with RSD = 16.9%, except for OPEO20 (61.8%) and NPEO20 (62.9%). OPEOs and NPEOs were detected in 50 marketed tea samples with concentrations ranging from 0.057-12.94 μg/kg and 0.30-215.89 μg/kg, respectively. This study provides a theoretical basis for the rational use of APEOs as adjuvants in commercial pesticide production.

Summary: Compared with other materials, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is widely used in the packaging industry due to its high transparency, excellent physical and mechanical properties, as well as good hygiene and safety. However, there is still a lack of complete overview on structure optimization in PET bottle optimization. The finite element method, as a useful supplement, can predict the effect and save cost in the pre-research design stage by combining computer-aided design technology and finite element software. This review summarizes the development of PET bottles for beverage packaging, evaluates various optimization methods for packaging structure, and discusses the future development based on structural optimization.

Summary: Supplemented apricot probiotic drink (SAPD) was prepared with the addition of 2% lactobacillus rhamnosus and different percentages (2, 4, 8, 12%) of sea buckthorn powder. The addition of sea buckthorn increased the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of SAPD, but high ratios reduced the drink's overall acceptability. Treatment T2 showed the highest probiotic count among all treatments, with 6.70 log CFU/mL on the 1st day, 6.6 log CFU/mL on the 14th day, and 6.5 log CFU/mL on the 28th day.

Summary: This study evaluated the antioxidant activities of extracts from different parts of traditionally used medicinal plants. The results showed that Euphrasiae stricta and Euphorbia platyphyllos L. had high levels of phenolic and flavonoid compounds and strong free radical scavenging activity. The highest antioxidant activity was observed in Euphrasiae stricta. These findings suggest that these medicinal plants can be used as important antioxidants for treating and inhibiting degenerative diseases caused by oxidative stress.

Summary: Starch nanoparticles are resistant to digestion in the upper intestine but not in the colon, and can exert prebiotic effects on the human body. Due to their biocompatibility, variety of natural sources, and ease of modification, starch-based nanoparticles have attracted great interest in the food and agriculture sector. In this study, rice and water chestnut starch were used to synthesize nanoparticles for the encapsulation of probiotic bacteria. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized for their morphology, molecular composition, and structure, and subjected to simulated gastrointestinal digestion. The results showed that water chestnut and rice-based starch nanoparticles had the best viability of probiotics under stressed conditions.

Summary: Lycium barbarum pulp (LBP) can improve the performance and structure of gluten proteins, resulting in improved noodle quality. The addition of 5% LBP significantly increases the stability and thermal stability of gluten proteins, and improves the texture, stretchability, and flavor of noodles. Moreover, LBP addition reduces starch digestibility and the expected glycemic index. SEM and AFM analysis show that the bioactive components of LBP can mix with gluten protein, bringing the structure of noodles closer together and intensifying the cross-linking of the gluten structure.

Summary: The film-forming properties of cinnamon essential oil and chitosan composite coating and its effect on postharvest apple diseases were investigated in this study. The composite coating showed favorable film-forming properties at low concentrations. It was effective in controlling diseases due to the direct inhibitory activity of cinnamon essential oil and the induced resistance triggered by chitosan. However, the inhibitory effect of the composite coating diminished over time.

Summary: This study used non-targeted metabolomic approaches combined with chemometrics and path profiling to investigate the impact of fermentation methods on the quality of Lycium barbarum and Polygonatum cyrtonema compound wine (LPW). The results showed that SRA fermentation had higher leaching rates of total phenols and flavonoids. Different yeast fermentation methods led to significant differences in the metabolic profiles of LPW. SRA stimulated the production of tyrosine and imparted a distinctive saucy aroma to the wine samples.

Summary: Many Schiff bases derived from 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole and isatin have been used to form [ML2]Cl2 type Co(II) complexes. Nitrogen from azomethine, oxygen from lactonyl, and nitrogen atoms of the thiazole ring contribute to coordinating the metallic ion. The complexes consist entirely of metal and have a geometrical octahedron structure, as confirmed by analytical, magnetic, and spectroscopic investigations.

Summary: This study aims to overcome the challenges posed by the chemical complexity, heterogeneity, and broad molecular mass distribution of technical lignins in their high-value utilization. A practical strategy involving sequential dissolution in solvents of different polarities was used to fractionate kraft lignin. By self-assembling lignin through the anti-solvent method, controllable surface energy particles were generated. The customization of lignin (size and wetting characteristics), based on the relationship between particle morphogenesis and oil-in-water (O/W) stabilization capacity, enabled its broader utilization in multiphase systems.

Summary: This study compares the effects of two types of cobalt-based nanoparticles on lung cells and finds that cobalt nanoparticles are more toxic to cells than cobalt-iron oxide nanoparticles, possibly due to the higher release of Co2+ ions by cobalt nanoparticles. Additionally, the study suggests that CalceinAM alone is insufficient to assess the toxicity of cobalt-based nanoparticles, and other methods should be used for further confirmation.

Summary: This study investigates the steady flow of viscoelastic fluid in a deformable channel. The mathematical structure for computing the impacts of fluid viscoelasticity on the flow is provided, and the dimensionless variables influencing the interaction between the fluid and structure are identified. The results show that the converging and diverging sections of the channel are affected similarly by the inertial forces and channel opening. Longer strain delaying time and shorter stress relaxation phase improve the velocity profile of the fluid flow.
